Iran
October 30, 2005 ( politics )
The Independent has a short article; "Ten very surprising things about Iran" (linked from BoingBoing), that is at least a small chink of information against the US propaganda on Iran.
Of interest:
8 Iran has one of the only condom factories in the Middle East, and actively encourages contraception as a means of family planning. Sex education for married couples and major advertising campaigns helped Iran to slow its booming population growth.9 Satellite television is banned in Iran, but receiver dishes sit in plain view on top of many houses. The most popular channels are run by Iranians based in Los Angeles, who broadcast Iranian pop music and a steady stream of anti-regime propaganda - though many Iranians also scoff at the radical tone taken by the stations.
Ah! They're pro-condom! That's why we wanna invade!
